The Hateras 70 foot Enclosed Bridge Yatchfish is quiet and amazingly controllable: a deft, lively communion between ship and sea. The bridge is more than a high visibility control center. It's an enormous party platform.
The interior salon boost a full sized L shaped leather couch, twin leather chairs, a 6 person dinette, wet bar with bar stools and ample liquor and wine storage. The salon also boasts 2 large flat screen 50 inch TV's and with marine Starlink the internet and streaming are always available.
There is also a full size kitchen with double subzero refrigerators, ice marker, four burner induction stove and a large convection microwave.
The 168-square-foot yatch fish cockpit can hold two fighting chairs and a prep center and still have running-around room for a couple of working mates. If not fishing a beautiful center mount dinning table that seats four is also available.
Her twin turbo-charged and super-charged 1292 Detroit Diesels provide top speeds of 27 miles an hour, comfortable cruising at 22 miles an hour. She has a cruising range of well over 500 miles with 1450-gallon tanks.
Obviously this is a luxury cruiser. The spaciousness, the abundance of mellow teak, the valanced led lighting, the soft thickness of deep pile carpeting, the trim fit of custom blinds, the recessed televisions, Starlink, 6 station fusion stereo, ice maker and wetbar, twin outside Propane grills - are all is designed to allow maximum warmth, style, comfort, space and the ultimate on the water entertainment.
The choice of furnishings and fabrics reflect the relaxed but colorful atmosphere of the Caribbean. The galley is a sunny, open expanse of pure white counter space.
The 70 Yatchfish sleeps up to eight people a can be configured with four cabins and three private bathrooms with showers. The master stateroom features a queen-size bed with walk-around room, two wardrobe lockers, drawers in the nightstand and under the bed. The master bath is equally elegant, with an extra large shower, whirlpool bath tube, oversized sink, and full-length mirror.
Both the guest and forward staterooms sleep two in each on extra thick foam mattresses, both with private access to complete bathrooms, and both with hanging lockers and stowage.
Below, there's an engine room that's a model of function. It's open on both sides of the huge engines with stand-up headroom, so even the grouchiest mechanic works better. There is access from either cockpit or companionway. Wiring systems are neat, compact and color-coded. The twin 1450 hp engines and twin 30 watt generators also have loaded rubber mounting devices, baffles on the air intakes, three different kinds of insulation, with generators placed well away from sleeping quarters - everything to make the Hatteras as quiet and functional as can be.
The custom aluminum fuel tanks are even positioned to keep the weight as low as possible for the best balance.
The enclosed bridge on the 70 yatchfish is simply enormous.
It can seat seven people plus the captain and still have room for the optional aft controls and a complete wetbar with an ice maker, refrigerator, and storage. The helmsman seat is centered, with excellent docking visibility and everything on the control panel within easy reach.
